Here’s what the release said about Dodds being named the assistant general manager:

Ed Dodds has been named the team’s assistant general manager. Dodds enters his second season with the Colts and his 16th year in the NFL. Prior to Indianapolis, he spent 10 seasons (2007-2016) with the Seattle Seahawks and was most recently Seattle’s senior personnel executive responsible for evaluating both college and pro talent. With the Seahawks, Dodds was part of six winning seasons, five NFC West titles and 10 playoff wins in addition to two Super Bowl appearances (one win). He also spent time with Oakland and his alma mater, Texas A&M-Kingsville.

Since Chris Ballard took over as general manager of the Colts in 2017, Dodds joined shortly afterward and has been one of the former’s most trusted advisors.
